How do you guys take high resolution pics and reduce them to fit...so that they aren't so small???

Resize to 640X480 (or smaller if you have to) is the BIGGEST factor in reducing file size. Save as a JPG with a compression level of 30. Trim the edges of the pic so you save ONLY the most important part of it. Even then it can be a challenge to get it "small" enough. Reduce pixel count as a last measure if you need it smaller.

Mohuska DON"T DO IT!!!! that takes care of that. I have a FAST ECU with sequential for spark and fuel per cylinder. Hook up the laptop and tune. Do we have a pernup??? Who gets the cobra

Sorry been down this road in NJ. Now been living with someone for 15 years, no problems. Really GOOD LUCK and Good WISHES. GET ALL YOU CAN, The Honeymoon will soon be over.

I think there is a problem at high speed with the webers because of air flow. Build yourself an air box that goes to the hood scoop. I think at high rpm that the air directs over the top on the webers and is not forced down the throats. With a air box, you pressurize the whole area and it is like a blower pushing air into a motor without the blower. If the heads and intake are port matched you are getting 20-40 hp over a carb. at the top end you are going to lose out once max flow is reached. Mid range power you will win out. You would think that 3,200 cfm of webers could not be outflowed by a 950 holley carb. Rick Lake

Too late for the "Don't DO IT".......Fortunately known her for 33 years (yes that's right)....& lived with her for 12 years...so there aren't too many surprises (I hope) in store.

She has been a solid supporter of the Cobra and loves to ride in it....She never said a word when I spent a ton of $ on the new paint, interior and especially the motor....

She only asked that I take her to Tahiti for 2 weeks for honeymoon....I'm not complaining there

....

We're actually going to the California coast for a week after we get married next month and the actual honeymoon will be next April to Tahiti when it is the best time to go....anyways...thanks for the good wishes....

mohuska Mike good luck on the marriage. REALLY. I thought the same with my first wife, know her for 12 years and married for 13 months. She knew I was a workaholic. Had 2 jobs and payed off the house in 15 years. Lost her in the process. Not enful time with her. Anyway Watch out for grass skirts. If you find an extra, begin it back for a house maid.

You always need a surprise once in a while. My favorite is the leather skirt, black fishnet stockings,high heels, and a smile

Opps got to go, she caught me. HHHHEEEELLLLLLPPPPP. I got to go to work. Rick Lake
